Transcript DGP Tuesday
Plan for Tuesdays • 1. Underline the complete subject once. • 2. Underline the complete predicate twice. • 3. Find the simple subject (one word noun or pronoun) and label with S. • 4. Find the simple predicate (verb or verb phrase) and tell if it is transitive (VT) or intransitive (VI). • 5. If verb is action, locate the direct object (DO); if the verb is linking, locate the predicate adjective (PA) or the predicate nominative (PN) by asking “subject-verb-what?” • 6. If there is a DO, check for an indirect object (IO) by saying “subject-verb-what-to whom?” •7. Put parentheses around any prep phrases, label the OP and tell if the phrase is adverb or adjective. •8. Locate and label any other phrases (appositive, participial, gerund, or infinitive). SIMPLE SUBJECT/COMPLETE SUBJECT • Complete Subject: The simple subject plus all its modifiers (phrases and any clauses that describe it) • Simple Subject (S): The “who” or “what” that is doing the action. – Must be a noun, pronoun, gerund, or infinitive – Must NOT be in a prep phrase – “There” and “Here” are never the subject – The subject could be “understood you” if it is an imperative sentence (command): • Bring me the remote. (YOU bring it) Plan for Tuesdays • 1. Underline the complete subject once. • 2. Underline the complete predicate twice. • 3. Find the simple subject (one word noun or pronoun) and label with S. • 4.

SIMPLE and COMPLETE PREDICATE • Complete Predicate: contains the verb, its modifiers, and anything that is not included in the subject. Underline twice. • Simple Predicate: verb or verb phrase – determine if it is: – TRANSITIVE (VT): takes a direct object – INTRANSITIVE (VI): does not take a direct object • All linking verbs are INTRANSITIVE • Action verbs can be TRANSITIVE or INTRANSITIVE • All passive voice verbs are TRANSITIVE Plan for Tuesdays • 1.

COMPLEMENTS – Complete the meaning of the subject and the verb • DIRECT OBJECT (DO) – comes after an ACTION verb – Is a noun or pronoun; is never in a prep phrase – Answers “Who?” or “What?” after the verb – To find it, say “Subject, verb, WHAT?” • INDIRECT OBJECT (IO) – comes between the ACTION verb and the DO – Is a noun or a pronoun; is never in a prep phrase – Answers “To whom?” or “For whom?” after the verb – To find it, say, “Subject, verb, DO, to whom?” • PREDICATE NOMINATIVE (PN) – is a noun or pronoun that comes after a linking verb and renames the subject – To find it, say, “Subject, verb, what?” • PREDICATE ADJECTIVE (PA) – is an adjective that comes after a linking verb and describes the subject – To find it, say, “Subject, verb, what?” Plan for Tuesdays • 1. Underline the complete subject once. • 2. Underline the complete predicate twice. • 3. Find the simple subject (one word noun or pronoun) and label with S. • 4.

Locate and label any other phrases (appositive, participial, gerund, or infinitive). PHRASES: PREP, APPOSITIVE, VERBALS (GERUNDS, PARTICIPLES, INFINITIVES) • APPOSITIVE PHRASES: Noun or pronoun with additional modifiers; that renames another noun or pronoun • PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES: Group of words beginning with a prep and ending with a noun or pronoun – – – – Can act as an adjective or adverb Must be next to the noun or pronoun it modifies OP is the noun/pronoun at the end of the phrase If no OP follows prep, then it is not a prep (it is an adverb) • INFINITIVE PHRASES: To + a verb including modifiers – Object of infinitive – tells “what?” after infinitive • GERUND PHRASES: Gerund plus modifiers – Object of gerund – tells “what?” after the gerund • PARTICIPIAL PHRASES: Participle plus modifiers Plan for Tuesdays • 1.
